At first, the vocal, while excellent, struck me as not fitting the tune . . . but actually by the end I was thinking it was perfect for the tune given the write. Really nice work on this!

All my best to you,

Loved those lyrics!
"I can’t take you for better or worse
I’m gonna send you this love song in reverse" ..Brilliant
Great groove and mix also.

Scott,

Very nice song!
You're right, we don't see that kind of modulation very often in country songs like this.
However, it is very natural and familiar to my ears.
It's a very simple song, but the part gives it a very nice accent.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

The key changes work very well, it's very clever to introduce them over the vocals (which are pretty good).
Love it!

I'm not 100% sure I get the title (for me "love song in reverse" is "esrever ni gnos evol") laugh

I don't think I ever introduced a key change in one of my songs.
I should do it.
Nice idea and song.

Great song Scott and clever write. The only comment I have would be to beef up the snare.

PS> Also enjoyed the reverse clock wink

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Fantastic hook! Great use of the BIAB style. My only suggestion would be to lose the space after each line in the verses to give the lines more continuity.

Hi Ezekiel,

An enjoyable song, you sing it good and the band is good too!
I liked the lyrics (I can’t take you for better or worse, I’m gonna send you this love song in reverse) a lot.
But it's the revenche mode isn't it ;-)

By the way, David gave some tips I can agree with. So, maybe you can make two versions?

Cool song, I like the concept. Great vocal, and that guitar is right on the money.

As far as the production goes, simple is almost always better in my book wink

Good one, enjoyed.


Thanks a bunch, Dave!

We enjoyed the different take on the typical love song and your key change worked well.

As two folks with heavy southern accents we think you’ve got the country twang down very well in your vocal. wink

The band had our feet tapping from start to finish.
And the snare has a great pop to it.

Good one!

You hooked me with the title and the music lyrics delivered the goods. I was smiling as I listened.
